Presentation of the Art Work

 

 

Due to financial limitations, I could not a afford to get the prints done proffesionally, so i took the opportunity of using the Uni large format printer which worked OK but the colours and contrast where not to a high enough standard for an exhibition. I also sourced my adhesive foamcore at 'Hang It' picture framing who i have got lot of work done in the past. They showed me the technique of mounting photo's onto foamcore and i gave it a go. Although time consuming, it worked out well.

 

 A lot of thought went into how i was going to present the work, i didn't want to do a typical gallery instalation of all the photos hanging at eye level. So i played around with presenting them in a circle which ties in with the actual artwork itself. So i used a plate on a overhead projector to get the outline of a circle. This took about 3 hours working out the configeration of the photos and still at the end of the 3 hours i still wasn't totally happy with the presentation. I planned on using double sided tape to install the photos but it didn't stick. I then used blue tac but i was nervous that all the photos would fall down over night.

 

 

 

 

 

When i came back the next day and looked at the photos still hanging there and seeing the presentation with new eyes i was happy with the visual representation of the Land art project. 

 

 

The feedback from others in the class was very positive and encouraging, there was a sense of people wanting to keep looking at the work. I really want to keep developing Land art and relational aesthetics in my art practice.
